About the host

Hosted by Tracey Johnson

Host profile image
I am married with 2 kids, 19 and 16 and a fur baby. We love travelling but also enjoy spending time at our beautiful home in the centre of Olinda. We look forward to welcoming you to share our small oasis in the heart of the Olinda village in the grounds of the old Olinda Church

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property as we were looking for a tree change and to live in a one of a kind property. Renovating the old church and providing a sanctuary for others to enjoy this beautiful region was a dream of ours and we look forward to sharing it with our guests.

What makes this property unique

Less than 1 minutes walk to the main village yet still private enough for you to feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, Olinda Church House is the perfect getaway to enjoy all that the Dandenong Ranges has to offer. With your own private guest house you also have full access to the spa, sauna and outdoor shower area.
